Ready to Go to the Airport

I am finally packed and ready to head to the airport, but first a good night of sleep.

Clifford the Big Red Suitecase, Packing Formula, How to Pack a SuitcaseClifford the Big Red Suitcase is all packed as well as my carry-on and backpack.

I have to be up early for the long drive to the airport.

San Mateo Bridge, San Francisco Bay, To the AirportI will cross the San Mateo bridge for the first time in almost four years.

Anza Parking , airpot parking, San Francisco Airport, SFO, Shuttle BusThen I have to check in my car at the parking provider and take a shuttle to the airport.

San Francisco Airport, Internation Terminal, SFO, Departures, Airport TerminalThen it is time to get checked in and wait for my flight.

I will have two flights tomorrow. First, an 11 hour flight to Tokyo and then an almost seven hour flight on to Bangkok.

I will probably watch a movie or two, but will hopefully get some sleep as I arrive in the dead of night and will not get to the airport until the wee hours of Sunday morning.

Then some rest during the day to be ready to teach on Monday.

Wednesday Image Search – Dot, Eot and Got

Welcome to another Wednesday Image Search where I pick a string of letters or a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

Last week I continued the new sequence with ‘cot’. This week I will search for ‘dot’, ‘eot’ and ‘got’. There will be some gaps in this ‘*ot’ sequence, including ‘aot’, as not all combinations will find images.

I decided to put a couple searches together this week.

What images will I find?

The first image is a set of books by the historian Herodotus. Someday I will get around to reading them. Perhaps some day when I am not thinking about the Roman Empire, but the Greek Empire.

Calendars, 2018 Calendars, Barns, Sherlock, National GeographicNext is a shot of a package from Calendars dot com. I get my calendars from them each year. It is time to order again soon.

Archaeology, Teotihuacan, Mexico, PyramidsHere is a picture from Teotihuacan in Mexico. I have  not seen the Pyramids in Egypt, but I have seen the Piramides in Mexico.

american gothic, puzzle, IowaHere is a puzzle I put together of American Gothic. The house is not far from where I grew up in Iowa.

The Forgotten Daughter, Caroline Dale Snedeker, Newbery Honor Book, Newbery Award WinnerFinally we have the cover of the book The Forgotten Daughter by Caroline Dale Snedeker. I read this as part of my Newbery book challenge. This book makes me think of the Roman Empire as it is set in a villa near Rome.

There were only a few ‘dot’, ‘eot’ and ‘got’ images to choose from, and none from ‘fot’.  I hope you like the selections that I made.

Which is your favorite of these pictures?

What should I search for next? I will probably continue with the ‘*ot” series even though I need to skip some instances since there are few or no images for some of them, or perhaps bundle some together like I did this week.
